Escrow Contract

This project implements an Ethereum-based escrow smart contract using Solidity. It facilitates secure transactions between a buyer, seller, and arbiter. The contract currently supports the Sepolia testnet.

Features

• Escrow transaction flow: Buyer deposits funds, seller delivers goods, arbiter releases funds.
• User interaction: Requires MetaMask and an Ethereum wallet.
• Testnet: Currently supports Sepolia testnet.

Setup Requirements

1. MetaMask Wallet

• Install MetaMask and set up your wallet to interact with the Ethereum network.

2. Ethereum Wallet

• Connect your Ethereum wallet to the Sepolia testnet for testing (or the mainnet for actual deployment).

3. Get Sepolia Testnet ETH

• Obtain testnet ETH from a faucet for deploying the contract on Sepolia.

4. Arbiter and Beneficiary Addresses

• You need the addresses of both the Arbiter and the Beneficiary (the person receiving the funds).

5. Website Setup

• Visit the Escrow Contract App.
• Enter the Arbiter and Beneficiary addresses.
• Deposit funds (use testnet ETH for testing).
• Click “Deploy Contract” to deploy the contract.

6. Mainnet Deployment (for production)

• After testing on Sepolia, deploy the contract to the mainnet for live transactions.

Future Features

• Arbiter/voter fund release mechanism
• User-friendly UI
• Contract history tracking
• Feature to view contract status for the beneficiary
• Stalemate resolution system
